Restaurantji's Zeeland guide: Where to find the best Mexican flavors.
“The service was good. The staff was nice.But the dining experience wasn't fun. It was so cold inside the dining area that it made it very uncomfortable to eat. We actually had to go out to the car to get warmed up. I have never been to a Taco bell that was so cold.“
“Una restaurante maravillosa! A great place to go and enjoy some Mexican cuisine. A great selection of tacos, sides, apps, and fun extras. All the service staff were very kind and quick, and always welcoming and engaging in conversation with customers. The food is authentic and filing, I highly recommend getting the Pirata. I was a great fan of the sauces they had, the spiciest one, the black habanero, was my favorite by far.“
“I’m from the west coast and have been seeking authentic Mexican food. This place is it, hands down!!! I drove from Grand Haven to try it and I’ll be a regular now, I’m telling you! My friend had the birria tacos and I had elote and chilaquiles. My first bite and I was in heaven!!! Not to mention, the staff was SO friendly, it felt like home. Vegetarian friendly, incredible food, drinks and more. AND there’s a drive thru?! You don’t want to miss this hidden gem. I’d give it a 6/5 if I could!“
“I work for Lakeshore Orthodontics and we had Tamales Plus cater our lunch and let me say that they went above and beyond, not only with communication and service, but we could not get enough compliments on the food. Everything is so fresh and flavorful. Whether you're stopping in for a lunch or catering, this place is awesome!“
“Fantastic food. Very authentic. Service was great. It was only the second day for our waiter, but he was trying very hard and was really friendly. Only reason I gave "only" 4 ⭐ for atmosphere was because our booth was pretty tight. Can't wait to go back for more great food!“
“On approach it appears to not be such a great place but let the food speak for itself. You come for the food and you’ll stay for the food. I can’t understand how they get their meet so tender. You don’t need teeth to bit into these tacos.“
“Ingredients were fresh and aromatic. Cilantro was springy and distinct. Corn salsa was toned down, like your fourth grade imaginary friend who you one day stopped believing in. Pork carnitas taco had an inviting mouth feel that welcomed me in to its subtle flavors, like the neighbor who wants to show you the new firepit he installed and shares a beer for your trouble. Friendly, affable, unassuming. The baja chicken was laid back and unchallenging; a firm but kind mouthfeel. I wouldn't write home to my mom about it, but then again i dont write to my mother and maybe i should. Humble, filling, sustenance.“
“When my daughter has to have treatments, we go to the clinicAfterward we have a tradition to go eat at a new place.This time, we chose Los Ranchos in Holland Michigan.Our service was impeccable.The gentleman who took our order has great presence. He smiled a genuine smile.I didn't know how to pronounce some of the words, so I pointed to the picture of what I would like.The gentleman, without missing a beat, said, " I do it that way too.He laughed at himself when he forgot the utensils.After a few more first-time restaurants, we will definitely go back. The food was yummy.“
“After living in Texas for many years I figured out the surest way to find good Mexican food was to eat where the native Spanish speakers went. Based on the clientele this place is legit. That being said I don't often eat their standard Mexican dishes. Azteca serves the best Gyro in Ottawa county. I'm sure part of that is a real dearth of quality Mediterranean/Greek food in the area but this is still a good Gyro. I still feel odd ordering a gyro in a Mexican restaurant but I usually stop in about once a month just for this dish. The other food I've tried is good but may be a bit too traditional for the average gringo. Very good, just not catering to the chips and salsa crowd that would be more at home going to On the Border.“
“By far one of our favorite restaurants. One of the only reasons we go to Holland instead of GR is to eat at El Rancho. We have been coming here consistently since 2014 and have never had a bad experience. It’s always great food that arrives quickly, friendly and efficient staff, very very clean, good music, affordable authentic food. I literally have nothing negative to say!Parking: Easy to park unless at peak meal times on the weekends.Kid-friendliness: Crayons and colorable menu. Inexpensive kid meal options that are affordable.“
“I thought another typical Mexican restaurant and boy was I in for a treat. Not only was the service fast but the flavors?? were sooo vibrant. This food was prepared with a lot of love. The vegetables were so fresh and juicy. Mixing the cold veggies with the hot delicious tilapia and shrimp was a perfect combination. The drink was also perfect. I finished it all and I never finish it all. 5 stars for me and I highly recommend.“
“I love coming here ! Jennifer is very friendly and provides awesome service .The food and flavors hit every time! Prices are very reasonable and affordable. Taco Tuesday deal is awesome too 99 cents i believe. Highly recommend coming here!!“
“This was when I was at an bmp energy expo before I went to see a movie, always wanted to try it & the flavors alone were worth it.Dietary restrictions: They can customize to whichever you may need, whether you want a little or a lot in a cup or on a cob.“
“Hello!We ate here Saturday and it was great!I had the Carne Asada ? the rice has small red potato pieces folded in. It was delicious!My guy had the wet burrito with red sauce, and that was great, too! There is a lot to choose from and daily specials. ✨️ My only concern was that our server didn’t pick up our plates and didn't suggest dessert. Great experience overall ?“
“A tasty local Mexican restaurant that was only a few minutes outside of town! The outside of the building was deceptive as it appeared to be an old Long John Silvers, but the inside was welcoming and well decorated! The service was excellent, and the portions were large! We ordered a side of queso to go with the chips and salsa. For our main meals l, I had the tacos de carne asada, and my sister had the queso barrio tacos. Everything was so flavorful and very filling! Overall a great dining experience.“
“Amazing food! The wet burritos are a favorite, and the chicken tortilla soup is the best I've ever had. Very clean restaurant, staff are always so friendly, prices are reasonable and portions are way bigger than most places.Vegetarian options: Veggie burrito is so good, and their salads are hugeDietary restrictions: They'll custom make your foodParking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Booths and tables, friendly atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Zero entry“
“I go here a lot especially on the days I get off work. I have never had a bad experience from this place. My food was always hot. The ladies who work at the window are over the top nice in patient I’ve never really been inside of it but from the looks, they keep it clean they’re very polite people , I would recommend going here. They’re also very authentic.“
“Been to the restaurant several times and even had order food for some work events! The food is amazing and the service is amazing. Food was also an amazing hit with everyone at work. Even while waiting for to go, the customer service was amazing and check up on me as well!“
“My review is for tamales only. Best tamales in town for sure, maybe even in southwest Michigan. Tried tamales from every area restaurant and these are the best. Pork are the best of the best. Cannot attest to other menu items, although I was contemplating rating 4, instead of 5, stars due to mediocre rice and beans. Point is, buy your tamales from here. Oh, and bring cash, because tamales are cash only“
“I love this place! I've been coming here since the people who run it now were children messing around in the booths. Lol The rice is the best in holland! The wet burrito sauce and chicken fajita sauce are the best! My suggestion is to make it easier to order tacos online for taco Tuesdays and get a delivery driver! Even if it is just for Tuesdays and lunch, you'd make a killing!“
“Best authentic Mexican restaurant. Guacamole is best I’ve tasted. Interior setting is more cafe lunch style looking vs. a nice atmosphere to sit and eat in - wish it were nicer in that regard. But go and Eat there….you won’t regret it!!! I see people complain of the service time - remember this is a small ma and pa shop with typically one person waitress…it’s not Ole Tacos fast food or a restaurant with multiple waitresses. We frequent there often, she has always been very kind and pleasant to us.“
